FAQ’s:
Will it work with my car?
If your car is 2006 or newer (if petrol, 2006 and newer for diesel) then yes it is full OBD2 and it will work with your car. If you car is older then please contact us or check out our car list here.
*Some early and even late 2006 models were not OBD2 compliant yet even if mandated by law. Please check with us first to ensure compatibility.
Please note that not all live data parameters may be available on your vehicle model.
How do I install it and get it to work?
All cars have a diagnostics port and if your car is OBD2 it has to be within reaching distance of the steering wheel. Look under the steering wheel and above your pedals and you will find it. Then all you have to do is plug it in and the unit is powered by the OBD port.
Will it clear my engine fault and tell me what’s wrong?
Yes it will do both of these*. You will plug it in and click read codes and it will give you the error code and a description of the issue. Like this P0171 – Oxygen Sensor. So you know the problem is with the oxygen sensor and then the best thing to do is google the code and your cars year and model. e.g. Toyota Hilux 2017 P0171. Nine times out of ten this will be a common problem and the answer will be the first thing that pops up. However it will only scan the engine ECU if you need to scan more modules like ABS or Airbags then you will need a full system scan tool like this one here.
Please note that on some vehicles, the MIL/Check Engine Light cannot be cleared/erased unless the part it is referring to as faulty is repaired or replaced first.
